AMERICA’S GOT TALENT more than doubled the next-highest rated broadcast.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
CBS: After 0.7-0.8 reruns, the series finale of PERSON OF INTEREST was steady with last week at 1.0.
NBC: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was by far the night’s highest-rated show, but it fell 0.3 from last week to 2.3, which pushed MAYA & MARTY down 0.2 to 1.1 (and the latter was at 0.9 in its 2d half-hour, suggesting how much its lead-in is contributing).
ABC: UNCLE BUCK lost half a point from last week’s debut to 1.0, following 0.8-0.7 reruns. At 10PM, TO TELL THE TRUTH was down 0.2 from last week’s 10PM episode to 1.0.
FOX: HOTEL HELL slipped 0.1 to 0.8, and COUPLED gained a tenth to 0.5.
CW: CONTAINMENT was steady with last week’s 0.3, and also with its lead-in from a rerun of THE FLASH.
The CBS summer Wednesday line-up debuts tonight, with BIG BROTHER followed by the new AMERICAN GOTHIC. In addition, HBO premieres ANY GIVEN WEDNESDAY, the most visible fruit of its mammoth deal with ex-ESPN icon Bill Simmons.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
